Arcadis Digital Twin pipelines may receive measurement values in arbitrary order. Implement a function that returns the values in ascending order without using Python's built-in sort() or sorted() functions.
Use a comparison-based algorithm with O(n log n) worst-case time complexity. The result must be stable, meaning equal values retain their original relative order. Since the input contains integers, stability does not change the visible output, but your merge logic should preserve it.
nums, a list of integers.nums, sorted in nondecreasing order.def sort_measurements(nums):
